No outward physical indicators

but we'll keep close eye on him.
(recorder beeping)
At least you don't have to start school tomorrow.
(soft music)
We got this.
Goodnight Carl.

- [Zoe] What is this?
(tapping)
- Excuse you, what are you doing with my stuff?
- What?
- You must have made a mistake.
- I'm sorry, I thought that they said
that this was my locker.
It's my first-
- Oh no, see that's your mistake.
I don't care what that says.
This is my locker.
And the one next to it is my other locker.
And the one next to that, and the one next to that.
Both mine.
- I'm sorry, I didn't know.
- Ladies, ladies, she didn't know.
Which is why we're at school, right?
To
learn.
So, what do you think the best way to teach her a lesson is?
- Hey Jessie?
- What do you want weirdo?
- Billy had his phone out.
I think he was filming you.
- Billy!
Give me that phone!
What are you some sort of school paparazzi?
- Don't worry about Billy.
He spread a rumor about Ryan last week.
- Oh my name's Billy, I can just secretly record people.
(phone crunching)
(Jessie grunting)
- Losing his phone is just karma.
- [Jessie] I hope you have Apple Care.
- Tara.
- Zoe.
- Where you from?
- Chicago.
- Chicago,
nice, the city.
How's the deep dish?
Go Bears.
(Jessie grunting)
- What's her deal?
- Try and Snapchat me now.
- Hey!
- Some women just wanna watch the world burn.
(Jessie repeatedly grunting)
Who's your home room?
- Rathman?
- The Rath, we've been sentenced to the same fate.
Follow me.
- [Zoe] Thanks.
- Hey Tara.
Those dance videos you sent me where fire.
- Awesome, glad you liked it.
- Hey new girl, make sure you shut my locker.
- Tara, see you in the Rath.
- You're going the wrong way.
- What was that Tara?
- Boys.
Come on, Rath's this way.
- [Jessie] If this is on Snapchat, I will end you.
Purse boy!
(grunting)
(soft music)
- Here we are.
Just don't pull out your phone.
Good luck.
(soft music)
(students chatting)
(bell ringing)
- Mr. Anderson.
- Here.
- Mr. Berkeley?
- Sorry Mr. Rathman.
- Everyday Mr. Cooper.
- Well, see I-
- Stop.
I already know.
Everything is more important than school.
(hip-hop music playing quietly)
Take a seat.
And turn off your theme music.
- Miss Dunmeyer.
(students chatting)
(lively music)
(whistling)
(clapping)
- All right you little monsters.
Let's get going.
Hey!
Who are you and why are you not
in appropriate gym attire?
- Oh, I'm new here.
I didn't know-
- I can't not legally let you participate
in physical education without approved gym clothing.
(whistling)
Pearson!
Lead them in warmups.
- [Jessie] All right, I am in charge.
(lively music)
Stretch your left arm. (blowing raspberries)
- And you cannot participate,
I'm forced to give you a zero,
because without a doctor's note, each student is expected
to take every measure to ensure participation.
Zero for the day, side line.
- It's my first day here.
- It hurts me as much as it hurts you, trust me.
Sideline.
(whistling)
Kirby!
You call that a jumping jack?
(whistling)
Keep going, move it, move it.
I wanna see some sweat.
Let's go!
Come on, you're not a bunch of girls.
Let's move it. (screeching)
(students shouting)
- What?
What?
- [Teacher] Kirby, are you hurt or are you injured?
(mysterious music)
- [Morgan] Let's go.
(mysterious music)
- [Tara] I wonder where he is.
Are you sure we should be doing this?
Ned said to always bring salt.
- [Morgan] Ned also hasn't left his room in 50 years.
- [Tara] It's true.
But do you think table salt would work?
- [Morgan] Enough about salt, okay?
(mysterious music)
(water splashing)
(child giggling)
- Did you bring the ball?
- Yeah.
(intense music)
(child giggling)
- Are you sure we don't need salts?
Just in case.
- Do you wanna slow down a little boy?
- It was just an idea.
(intense music)
(child laughing)
(banging)
- We're a little past flinching, wouldn't you say?
- No, no, I would not say that.
Someone else is here.
- [Child Spirit] I'm there.
(child giggling)
(intense music)
(ball bouncing)
Hide my ball?
(light music)
- Hey, wanna go for a swim?
(ball splashing in water)
(child giggles)
- [Child Spirit] Woo hoo hoo.
(door slamming)
(bright music)
- Hey!
New girl.
(bright music)
(banging)
- Enough already.
Sorry.
(tense music)
(whooshing)
(tense music)
- [Female Spirit] Interesting.
(music box music)
(spirit laughing)
(soft music)
(door creaking)
- [Zoe] There wasn't a splash.
- Is something wrong?
- [Zoe] It can't be.
- What are you doing home?
- [Zoe] This isn't my home.
- What happened Zo?
(soft music)
(water running)
Brainstorm with me Carl.
Something rational.
Something rational. (knocking)
A projector?
Maybe.
- [Scott] Zoe?
(knocking)
(soft music)
Should I be concerned?
- No.
It's just, what if you don't believe something you saw?
- I don't know.
It's an interesting dilemma.
Maybe ask a better question?
Belief systems don't really matter
unless something can be repeated.
- You're right.
(water draining)
- I need more than that.
What happened, Zoe?
(water draining)
- This house is haunted.
- [Morgan] I love that our school's haunted.
- [Tara] Of course you would be happy.
Why do you think he's still there?
- The little boy?
I don't know, it's where he died.
- You think Ned knows him?
(light music)
No, Ned would've told us.
(dog whining)
(kissing sounds)
(dog barking)
- Hi Auto.
See?
Aww.
(gasping)
You know where we should go next?
- Oh, absolutely not.
- Oh come on.
Don't you wanna visit Widow Wellsley?
(kissing noise)
Grandma May's gonna lose it
when she sees her refrigerator door standing open like that.
All right, I need to see the book.
- Oh, the twins have parent teacher conferences tonight.
So, I'm in charge of you ladies.
- [Morgan] We'll see about that.
- True, because I'm about to go hoop with Ryan.
Oh and Tara, you're more than welcome to come.
It's shirts and skins
and Ryan's skins,
so you know.
- Okay, will you get out of here?
- I'm sorry. - We have work to do.
- I'm going, cool, all right.
Dinner's in the oven.
Tara, your invite stands.
- Ryan, go away Ryan.
Focus woman.
All right,
look.
She is the most famous story of them all.
The neighbors said that they heard trains and wailing.
We have to go.
- How about not?
- Why don't you wanna go?
Because, the little boy today was adorable.
She sounds scary.
- Oh come on, please.
Pretty please with a Ryan on top?
(bright music)
- [Scott] Zoe?
Dinner's ready.
Where are you?
- In the attic.
Proving this house is haunted.
I'm definitely not stealing wifi.
Just borrowing it, yeah.
(light music)
(keyboard clicking)
(computer dings)
Internet.
Yes.
[Toy] Losing batteries now.
(light music)
- [Toy] Losing batteries now.
(toy winding down)
- That's the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.
(toy groaning)
What?
Retro.
If it can be repeated, it can be recorded.
(Scott yelling muffled)
- [School Principal] So all after school activities
will be canceled until the key to the teacher's bathroom
is returned. (bell ringing)
The faculty will not negotiate with troublemakers.
The upstairs bathrooms are still closed, pending repairs.
Today's lunch will be chili surprise.
Good luck.
- Mr. Anderson.
- (whispering) Is is really bad?
- I know.
(whispering)
- Mr. Berkeley?
- Mr. Cooper?
- Sorry Mr. Rathman.
- I'm sure you are.
And I'm sure it'll happen again tomorrow.
(hip-hop music playing softly)
Take a seat.
Music, Mr. Cooper.
(soft music)
Miss Dunmeyer?
(students talking quietly)
- Hey Tara.
- Hey Zoe.
- Do you have a sec?
- I have lots of secs.
No I don't.
I do have seconds.
It's, not that it's a bad,
How are you?
How's your first few days been?
- I've been trying,
I mean, I didn't have the right gym clothes.
- It's always hard.
This is a renewal.
It's always hard the first couple of days.
It's a school project.
What's up? (scanner beeping)
- I was wondering what class you have fourth period.
- Fourth period, I don't have class.
Why, why are you asking?
- I have a few questions.
- I'm late, I have to go.
But maybe we can talk about this later, maybe.
(gasps) Ryan.
I'm not here.
- Wait, who is it?
- Ryan Windburn.
Is he looking?
Don't look.
Is he looking?
Don't look!
Stop looking at him.
- Sorry.
Can I see him?
(shushing)
- How can you not see him?
(scanner beeping)
- Look, I saw something yesterday
and I'm not gonna be able to let this go.
- I knew someone else was there.
Okay I'm gonna need Morgan for this.
She's not gonna be happy.
Nope, no, no, no he's still there.
(scanner beeping)
- Winning is an all the time thing.
It is not a sometime thing.
It's a habit.
Unfortunately, so is losing.
Especially with you boys.
Their loss is actually your fault
because you're running when you should be passing
and you're passing when you should be running.
And you're not attacking at your perceived weakest.
- Morgan!
- Frankly you should be punished with them.
- You gotta go back to being a girl now?
- Girl the whole time.
- All right guys, I said around the building.
How long is it gonna take?
- Zoe, Morgan, Morgan, Zoe.
Morgan, Zoe has questions.
Please let the record show that Tara has refrained
from saying, "I told you so."
- What happened at the pool yesterday?
- I told you someone else was there.
I told you so.
- Tara doesn't know how to swim.
I was teaching her.
- In a dark, scary pool that clearly hasn't been used.
- She gets shy in public places.
- It's all right. - She has body issues.
- What, just my toes.
- Okay, what's going on?
There was a boy there.
- Okay, you're talking gibberish.
We don't have time for this.
- Morgan, she was there.
She hasn't told anyone.
- How do you-
- I think we should take her to go see Ned.
- No one know how, that's what we said, remember?
- Who's Ned?
- Fine,
let's go.
(mysterious music)
- The music room?
- My favorite place in the whole school.
(mysterious music)
- There's nobody here.
- Hey Ned?
Ned?
(playing organ)
- Very funny.
- Hey Zoe?
Meet
Ned.
(intense music)
- Boo!
(screaming)
(laughing)
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Good to know you Zoe.
How goes it Sarge?
- What?
(hands slapping)
Down low.
Too slow.
(lively music)
And you, my little shama-lama-ding-dong.
We met Ned last year and since then,
we've been looking for more,
- Ghosts.
(shaky breathing)
- Ghosts. - Now girls, don't tease.
You know I prefer spiritually liberated.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Mm-mm, nope.
Yeah.
- What?
Was it my breath?
I can change.
(lively music)
(door slamming)
- Oh my gosh.
What the heck was that?
- Answers.
- What am I?
Your mark?
I'm your mark, aren't I?
Make the new girl your mark.
- Okay, will you quit saying mark?
We don't have time for this.
- You don't have time?
You don't have time?
Time is an indefinite, continued progress of existence.
It's not something one has.
- I don't know what you just said,
but you better watch yourself.
- Okay, enough.
Hey Zoe, we didn't know you followed us
down to the pool yesterday.
We brought you here because I thought Ned
could give you some answers.
He's a spirit of a teacher that worked here in the 60s.
At the pool was the spirit of a boy who drowned
a couple years back.
- Wait, what are you doing?
Oh do not give that to her.
(soft piano music)
- Since you can't not know now.
- No,
no,
no.
There's no way.
- She's an unknown risk.
- I think she'll come around quickly.
(soft music)
(bushes rustling)
(mysterious music)
- [Man] Oh no.
(dramatic music)
(shouting)
- What'd you tackle me for?
- You ran, I reacted.
- Oh yes that's a completely normal reaction.
- I didn't know if you were actually there.
- Right, also completely normal thing to think.
- Now I know.
- Right.
(soft music)
Hi.
- Who are you?
Why aren't you in school and why are you watching me?
- I'm Link.
I'm your next door neighbor.
I don't go to school.
I won the cystic fibrosis lottery.
And I don't watch you.
I mean, my window's right there.
So you'll be in your,
I might be in my room and enjoying the day,
looking out the window and then there you are.
It's not,
you're the one without curtains.
- That's not permission.
- That went so great!
- Dad, I'm seeing things.
And I need curtains.
Dad?
(wood creaking)
Dad?
(mumbled talking)
Dad?
(mumbled talking)
- Yeah, agreed.
- Dad, I need curtains
- Zoe. - and I need you to-
- Munchkin, I'm on the phone.
I need you to figure it out.
(Zoe sighing)
Can you hang on a second?
Zo?
You okay?
How was school?
- It was fine.
- Really?
'Cause it looks like you've seen a ghost-
- Nope,
don't even say it.
- What'd I say?
- [Zoe] I'm good Pops, just gonna go figure it out.
- Hi, yeah, I'm sorry.
I've got a teenage daughter.
I don't,
yeah.
(laughing)
(light music)
- Are you still with me mom?
(light music)
One question at a time.
(wind chimes ringing)
(mysterious music)
(cell phone dinging)
- And they say that I'm always late.
Best make out spot ever.
(laughing)
(mysterious music)
(wind blowing)
(metal squeaking)
(mysterious music)
(intense music)
(whooshing)
- What, what is it?
- Nothing.
I just felt something.
- Come on.
(sneaky music)
- So, what do you think of Zoe?
- I don't.
Now let's go over the plan for the widow's house.
- You're go and go distract her
and I'm gonna make sure all the rooms are clean.
- So I'm gonna be the bait again.
I hate being the bait.
- [Morgan] But you're so good at it.
- That's true.
- And I always swoop in.
That's my role.
- Sure but this isn't the playground.
- No, this is a spirit of an angry woman
who pushed her husband in front of a train.
(sneaky music)
(Tara exhaling)
- [Tara] This is a bad idea.
- [Morgan] What are you so worried about?
We brought the salt this time.
- [Tara] Oh, now you're a fan of salt.
- [Morgan] I'm just following Ned's advice.
- [Tara] Using consecrated salt
and burning sage to stop a ghost.
What could go wrong?
(phone dings)
(metal creaking)
(whooshing)
(phone dings)
(mysterious music)
(intense music)
(spirit snickering)
(whooshing)
- Aren't you just the life of the party?
(intense music)
(laughing)
Oops.
(music intensifying)
(Mickey yelling)
- All right, I'm gonna start upstairs.
You get her attention.
- She knows we're here.
- No, see, I didn't need to know that.
You need to start turning your Spidey senses off.
- Hey, if I have to know, you have to know.
(soft music)
(shaky breathing)
- Mrs. Wellsley?
I'm Tara, upstairs is Morgan.
We come in peace.
We know you killed your husband.
That's dope.
- Subtle Tara.
- But we're not here to judge.
We'd just like to help you move on.
- Get out!
(screaming)
(whispering) This is my house. (dramatic music)
- Morgan!
(train honking)
The sage isn't working.
- You don't sage.
(wind blowing)
- What now?
- We need the other thing.
- Okay.
By the light of this moon, I will rise free,
out of the shadows.
- [Mrs. Wesley] No visitors!
- This isn't working!
- Just read the next one. - I'm in mourning!
- Unseen is me, protected is me.
- Get - Morgan,
we have to go. - out.
(train honking)
- Morgan?
(dramatic music)
- I'm in
mourning!
(train horn blaring)
(shouting)
- Go go go!
(dramatic music)
- Hi neighbor.
It's Link,
remember?
Remember earlier?
It's me.
Hey!
Okay, bye!
(clapping)
Run time.
(bell ringing) - I want to assure you
that we can understand your frustration
with the bathroom situation.
However, toilet paper in the faculty vehicles
will not be tolerated.
And finally, today's lunch has been changed
to Mexican con carne.
(instrument whirring)
(instrument ringing)
- Hey.
Look, I'm sorry if Morgan came off a little
intense yesterday.
She can be a little tight when it comes to,
most things actually.
But she's cool really.
We've been friends since forever.
She's cuddly,
like, deep, deep,
deep, deep,
deep underneath all the layers.
- Okay.
- She's not really cuddly.
She doesn't like hugs.
(bell ringing)
Are you dealing okay?
(bell ringing)
- Mr. Anderson?
Mr. Berkeley?
Mr. Cooper?
(tense music)
Miss Dunmeyer?
(tense music)
(instrument whirring)
(mysterious music)
- Morgan?
Have you heard anything?
(intense music)
- [Ghost Voice] Run away.
(yelping)
(mysterious music)
- I told you so.
You owe me five bucks.
- I don't owe you no five bucks.
- [Zoe] Hey guys, I have gym upstairs fourth period.
- [Morgan] Mrs. S. must be steamed you're not in uniform.
- What you got there?
- Basically it's an EMF reader.
But I altered the plans
so it transduces electromagnetic waves to sound waves.
Instead of measuring electromagnetic fields,
it listens to them.
And then my tape deck let's me record them.
It's a step.
Develop testable predictions.
You can't prove anything by listening to EMF waves.
Everything puts out EMF waves.
Your phone, the microwave.
But if you could hear the difference between the waves-
- You're a nerd, aren't you?
- Hey. - That's not helpful.
- Look sorry, but while we're out here fighting ghosts,
you're trying to prove they exist
by using a cassette.
They're real sweetheart.
What more proof do you need?
- I'm not trying to prove anything-
(whooshing)
(screaming)
(spirit laughing)
- [Morgan] Tara, where's the salt?
- Is it worth it? - You
could be hard on my planning.
- Run, run, run! (whooshing)
(splashing)
(tense music)
(students chatting)
- Was that the widow?
- No.
- Who's the widow?
- Where were you standing?
How are you not wet?
- What was that?
- We've never seen that.
- How many spirits have you seen?
- Like three.
Yeah, three.
Ned, the pool boy and
Widow Wellsley.
- And that wasn't the widow?
- Oh no.
- What? - Here comes trouble.
(bright music)
- He's coming, he's coming, he's coming this way.
Do I look okay?
I look great.

- Hey Tara.
Wayne's sister.
- It's Morgan.
- And new girl.
- I'm Zoe.
(students chatting)
- What happened, you guys shower together or something?
Why you both wet?
(laughing and snorting)
- [Tara] Sorry.
(laughing)
- Hey listen, have you heard from Mickey at all?
- No, not today.
- No one has, he kind of went missing after last night.
If you hear from him, can you let me know?
- Sure.
- Great.
Hey, are you going to the carnival?
(laughing)
- Are you going to the carnival?
- I'll be there.
(snorting)
You should come. - That's cool.
- We should both go.
- [Tara] That'd be so cool.
That'd be the coolest.
- All right, well hopefully I'll see you there.
- I will see you, maybe.
Sometimes I see you and you don't,
and you don't look and see me.
But I see you all the time.
And it's, I'll see you later.
- All right then.
Save Mickey.
See you ladies later.
- I'll see you, bye.
- Smooth.
- Ow!
I can't help it.
Ryan's a unicorn.
And for those that are lucky enough to get close,
you can't hold onto it.
He belongs to the wind.
- What is she saying?
- Don't even pay attention to her.
Okay, will you keep it together?
We have very important supernatural problems
that we need to deal with.
- His smile can brighten the darkest of places.
- I'm going back to pool.
- Hey new girl!
(bright music)
Let's go.
Let's go!
God, I was trying to do a thing you guys.
- I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on this
towering black cloud of smoke.
You said, here?
In the school?
Shouldn't we be running?
- Isn't it just another spirit?
- I don't think I've ever met a spirit quite like that.
- Wait guys, containment.
The hypothesis makes sense.
My Walkman measures electromagnetic fields
and that's energy.
There's gotta be a way to harness it, contain it.
- Okay you just went full nerd now.
- Big couple days for you huh?
But I dig the ingenuity doctor.
- Okay, but how?
- That I don't know yet.
- Helpful.
- Well it could be, after all we didn't do so great
with the widow.
And whatever was in the pool-
- It's purely a hypothetical.
I have no idea what to use for the materials.
I could work on it over the weekend though.
- Perfect.
- Really?
Ned, is this even possible?
- [Zoe] What does it matter?
- Well do you have a better idea?
Good, great.
Then I say, why not?
We don't know what was in the pool but it seemed serious.
Thank you, Zoe.
Just let us know how we can help.
(soft music)
(footsteps)
- Hey Zo, dinner's almost ready.
(computer keys clicking)
We got lasagna.
- Okay.
(computer keys clicking)
- Is that my equipment?
- Yup, I borrowed it.
- Zo, these aren't toys.
These are things I need for work.
- I know they aren't toys.
I'm not playing, I'm working.
- Is it for school?
- No.
- Well what is it?
- Dad, look, it's nothing.
Can I just have some privacy?
- Okay, okay, if that's what you want.
- Yeah.
- Just be careful, I mean it.
- I heard you.
- All right, dinner soon.
(exhaling)
(tense music)
(clock ticking)
(voices overlapping)
- [Female Spirit] She's right.
(voices overlapping)
(tense music)
(voices overlapping)
- [Tara] She's knows we're here.
Oh no.

(birds chirping)
(Link grunting)
- Hey Mr. Donner.
Huh?
- Working on a Saturday?
- It's the only day the project supervisor could meet.
You mind taking out the trash?
I'm running late.
- Hey dad?
- Yeah?
- Do you think that,
Never-mind, I can see you're busy.
- What is it?
- Well, I've been trying to build a capacitor
to store energy and I built the wiring into a loop
but I'm stuck on the housing.
- Is this what you've been working on?
What's it for?
- A hypothesis.
That spiritual energy can be trapped and contained.
- Okay.
You trying to find Casper?
Let me know when you catch him.
- You think it's a joke?
People could stick around.
Is it so crazy to think that maybe she's watching?
- I believe what I see Zoe.
- Never-mind, just go to work.
- Hey, hey, hey, you know, I don't know what I did here
but I'm getting a little tired of this dismissive behavior.
- Sounds like a you problem.
Just go to work.
(birds chirping)
- Hey neighbor.
I'm about to go for a run.
- Okay.
- No, I meant, remember the last time I did that,
you tackled me.
Or as you put it, "reacted."
- Mm-hmm. - Remember that?
- Yup.
- Late nights?
Ah, night, night, late night?
I said that because you look tired.
Not because,
You don't look tired.
I haven't been looking through your window.
How about the weekend?
No the band, I meant like the event.
You doing anything?
I'm not doing anything.
There's this carnival, I was thinking, you wanna-
- Listen, Link is it?
Link, I'm busy trying to deduce what housing to use
to encase tangible electricity
admitted for another plane of existence.
I don't have time for a carnival.
- Okay.
- Hey, excuse me.
Eyes up here.
Yeah.
(laughing)
- No, no, no, sorry.
Your crystal.
Your necklace.
Your necklace crystal.
- What about it?
- Crystals have refectory angles
that can capture electromagnetic energy.
Just bounces around in there, unable to escape.
It's semi-permeable so energy can go into a crystal
but then it can't get out once it's in there.
- Impressive.
- Thank you.
I'm the town sick kid so, you know,
I basically sit in my room reading all day.
I mean, comics, but they're based in truth.
- Thanks.
A caterpillar.
- Hey, Zoe?
- Yeah?
- Can we talk to you?
- Sure.
- Sure, no her.
Of course.
- Thanks again.
- Yeah.
I think that went well.
(funny voice) Me too!
All right, let's go.
- And you don't think it was a nightmare?
- It felt like a warning.
Something's here and it scares me.
- Take her word for it.
She knows this kinda stuff.
She's always known this kinda stuff.
- I've noticed.
What's with that?
- My aunt Esme is
sensitive.
And she thinks I am too.
- She thinks she's a shaman.
- I don't know about that.
But sometimes I just feel things.
- So, anyway, how's that thing?
- Almost there.
It's just about finding something to withstand the heat
generated by the circuitry.
But I have an idea.
- Well we need to make sure it works
before we try it out on whatever that thing was.
- How much longer do you think you'll need?
- Not much longer.
I don't know.
- Hey, you can do it.
- Well a bad plan now is better than a good plan too late.
So why don't you go in there and get her done,
Tara and I will get the supplies
and then later I say we revisit good old Widow Wellsley.
- Yeah, sounds good.
- Okay, all right, on three, break.
- That was great.
(light music)
(hammer clinking)
- She's late.
- I'm sure she'll be here soon.
- No
way.
This is Widow Wellsley's house?
- Yeah, wait 'til you see inside.
Beneath the terror
it's actually a very beautiful crafted home.
- Hmm, yeah.
That's cool.
- What's wrong with you both?
- What?
Nothing.
Just running on little sleep.
Oh I finished.
Now just get me close enough to make contact.
- Okay, so what's the plan?
- That's a good one.
You're not gonna like it.
Come on, there's nothing to be scared of.
- [Zoe] Guys, guys wait.
Wait for me.
(intense music)
(mysterious music)
(crystals clinking)
(instrument whirring)
- Mrs. Wellsley?
(mysterious music)
Here widow, widow.
Sorry to bother you again.
(exhaling)
Why so angry?
- This is my house.
Get out!
(dramatic music)
- She's coming!
And she's really mad.
(shouting)
- Zoe where are you?
- I'm in
mourning!
(gasping)
(dramatic music)
(Widow Wellsley shouting)
- Zoe!
Zoe!
- [Tara] My head.
- Tara get up! - Get out!
- [Tara] I can't, she's so mad.
It hurts!
- [Tara] Zoe, hit her with the device.
- [Morgan] I need more salt.
- [Tara] Zoe now!
- [Zoe's Mother] Zoe, sweetheart, are you there?
(yelling and shouting)
(dramatic music)
- Get out!
Get out!
(soft music)
- What do you think that we did her?
- Did you hear that?
That woman's voice.
(Morgan grunting)
- [Female Spirit] Children, distracted so easily.
(muffled screaming)
(clapping)
- [Female Spirit] Good show ladies.
- [Tara] It's here!
- [Female Spirit] But you heard the woman.
Get out!
(dramatic music)
- [Tara] Go, go, go!
- Hey, hey, I wasn't following you.
- Link, run!
- What?
But,
what is that?
Holy.
Zoe, ah!
- Link!
(Link shouting)
- No. - Zoe, run.
- Grab him!
(Link yelling)
- [Link] Go, go, go!
- Link! - Let go, go.
- Link, no!
Link! - Go, go, keep running Zoe.
Don't stop!
Ah, ah, cold, cold, cold, cold.
(whooshing)
(screaming)
(soft music)
- That thing was waiting for us.
- She's been stalking us.
- We so don't know if that dumb contraption even works.
What's your deal Zoe?
- I was trying to help Link.
- I'm talking about what happened in the house,
with the widow.
- I heard my mom's voice.
She died when I was nine.
- Great.
- Morgan.
- We don't have time for your mommy issues.
- Zoe, wait, wait.
We still need you.
- No we don't!
- Who put you in charge?
- Really Tara?
You can't manage a team.
You can barely tie your tie own shoe
if it's not for me.
- Get this through your head.
I'm not your sidekick.
We're partners.
And like it or not, Zoe is too.
Why are you being such a control freak?
(soft music)
I'll talk to her.
Just meet us at Ned's in an hour.

Ned?
How'd it go doctor?
Have you unlocked the secrets of harnessing the afterlife?
Are you hear to trap me?
(guitar strumming)
- No,
I don't know.
I screwed it up.
Then that thing showed up and
and my friend,
I just left him.
He could be-
- Hey, hey, hey, it's all right munchkin.
(soft music)
Where are Tara and Morgan?
- They're coming.
Ned?
You said that you knew other ghosts.
That you hadn't met ones like the black cloud.
How did you find them?
- What are you asking Zoe?
(soft music)
- I heard my mom's voice
when we went to test the device on Widow Wellsley.
I'm sure it was her.
Could it have been her?
- Just because ghosts are real,
doesn't mean your mom is one.
Everyone sort of goes along their own path
in the afterlife.
Doesn't mean she isn't one either.
But,
what's important
is who's here.
(soft music)
- [Ned] All right angels, what's the plan?
- Mickey.
Tara, you said that you saw Mickey in your dream.
- Why does it matter?
- Feeling things, knowing things,
it's gotta amount to something.
- I think she's right Tara.
You should listen.
- Where were you?
- It was dark but
(overlapping voices) it smelled like
burnt popcorn.
- Listen to me, where did you see Mickey?
- He was sitting in a chair.
There were lights and he was scared.
- Tara.
- He's trying to tell me something.
There's someone else there.
It's the same thing that's stalking us.
It's a woman's spirit.
- Oh a lady ghost.
It's terrifying actually.
- She's old
and powerful.
She wants something from Mickey.
It's like she's feeding off his energy.
- [Zoe] Tell us where you are.
- I'm standing on grass.
The walls were striped.
It was a tent.
- The carnival.
The carnival's here in town.
- Oh fun.
Wait.
(fire whooshing)
- [Morgan] Half the school's at the carnival tonight.
- [Zoe] I bet that's where we'll find her.
- [Tara] Ryan's at the carnival.
- [Morgan] But how are we supposed to defeat the smoke lady?
- What up, stud?
- Hey there Jessie.
- I was looking for you.
- Oh really?
What's up?
- Just thought we could enjoy the carnival together.
- Uh huh and why is that?
- Because I'm Jessie Pearson and you're Ryan Windburn.
- [Morgan] But what are we supposed to do?
- [Tara] We'll need this.
- I think I just need to maintain contact.
Looks like we're going to the carnival.
(energetic music)
- [Tara] Are we ready for this guys?
- [Morgan] Of course we are.
- [Zoe] She's got Link.
- [Tara] And Mickey.
Let's do this.
- [Morgan] Okay.
Do we need more salt?
- [Tara] Always with the salt.
- [Zoe] Wait, explain the salt to me.
- [Morgan] Don't worry about it nerd girl.
- [Zoe] Hey!
- See, I can be
normal.
- I like someone else.
- So what?
Hold my hand.
- I like someone else.
(whooshing)
(dramatic music)
(Jessie and Ryan screaming)
- [Tara] Ryan!
- Tara, what's wrong?
Is Ryan in trouble?
Are they nearby?
[Zoe] Tara, can you feel where he's at?
- I don't know.
- Just try.
- Come on, this way.
(tense music)
(crowd shouting and laughing)
(crickets chirping)
(whooshing)
- [Zoe] There.
(shushing)
Sorry.
(whooshing)
- That's her.
Ryan's awake.
- Hello little mice.
(screaming)
(dramatic music)
(whooshing)
We did not think this through.
What we did, you should've called grown-ups or something.
- Just stop.
We'll think of something.
- Like what?
That's the best you came up with
and we don't even know if it works.
And now you're relying on me.
I'm just the bait, you're the brains.
- Hey, you guys are the ghost chasers here.
I'm just the new girl.
- You're both wrong, you idiots.
Zoe, you're the nerd brains,
Tara, you've got some sort of magic mojo, okay?
Our friends are in danger and the bad girl
already knows we're here.
Now listen up, I have a plan.
I'll be the bait.
(door squeaking)
- Zo?
Zoe?
What is this?
Zoe, clever girl.
(cassette recorder whirring)
- [Tara On Recorder] She's so mad.
It hurts!
- [Morgan] Now!
Zoe, hit her with the device.
I need more salt.
- [Tara] Zoe now!
- [Zoe's Mother] Zoe, sweetheart, are you there?
(yelling)
- Zoe?
(door slams)
(wind blowing) (whispering)
(soft music)
(intense music)
- So you know that we know that you know
that we're here.
We're done with the fun and games.
We just wanna make a deal and get our friends back.
You can even keep the blonde.
Hello?
- You came.
- Yeah. - Look,
we get that you're all powerful and stuff.
She's not listening to me.
(spirit laughing)
- Come out to play?
- Actually, I think this has been
one big misunderstanding.
(whooshing)
(intense music)
- Anytime now Zoe.
(spirit laughing)
Help me!
(grunting)
- Morgan!
(intense music)
(gasping)
(grunting)
(dramatic music)
- You don't wanna be special.
Don't wanna accept what radiates off of you.
I'll take what you're wasting.
(grunting)
(instrument powering up)
(dramatic music)
- [Zoe] I've gotta get closer.
- [Zoe] Morgan!
We need a new plan.
Get up.
Get up!
- [Zoe's Mother] Zoe, sweetheart, are you there?
Zoe,
don't go.
(dramatic music)
Zoe.
Zoe,
my daughter.
How I've missed so.
- You've got this girl.
I know you do.
Don't let go Tara.
Don't you leave me.
(powerful music)
- [Zoe's Mother] Zoe.
I never left.
I'll always near to you.
- [Morgan] You're stronger than her.
Use your power.
(powerful music)
- [Tara] Now Zoe!
- Goodbye.
(buzzing)
(shouting)
- I decide when the show is over.
(powerful music)
(spirit shouting)
(soft music)
(birds chirping)
(Tara coughing)
- Holy smokes girl, that was crazy.
Thank you.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I feel
like I should stay seated.
- Oh my God, thank you so much.
Did you see that?
That was so scary.
- Who is hugging me?
No, no, no, no, that is the last time
I'm saving anybody.
- My ladies.
I get to save every one.
Who's got my purse?
- You saved us.
You did, didn't you?
I thought that was pretty cool.
(kissing)
(squealing)
- Morgan,
Morgan.
I just kissed my unicorn.
- Whoa.
- I got you.
- Okay, there you go guys.
There you go.
Hey,
hey.
(breathing heavily)
That was crazy.
There was like so,
(breathing)
I see your device worked.
- Yeah.
- And hey, your necklace.
It's my idea.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
(light music)
Another caterpillar?
- No.
- [Scott] Zoe!
- Dad.
- Are you okay?
You sure?
- I'm just glad I'm nerd kid of a nerd dad.
I just really wanna go home.
- Yeah, okay.
- Hey, neighbor kid, you coming?
Need a ride?
- Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
This is place is super spooky.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Come over here.
- Oh ow, dang.
